1. Weak Twos Why should we play weak 2’s ?
Which hand do we pick up more often ?
With hand b) we have six card suit and unless we put a Club with our Spades we cannot do very much
With hand a) we have a traditional Acol Strong two
But we would love to bid !!!!

2. Weak TWO Opening bids allows us to open with this hand and MANY MANY more like it
We open 2  and partner will know :-
a) We have a six card suit
b) We have precisely points
c) We have Made an IMMEDIATE LIMIT BID
d) We have Made a DISRUPTIVE NUISANCE BID
ie we have made a lower level PRE-EMPT
e) Who makes all the decisions now ? ?
PARTNER DOES - partner is captain of the auction since you made the limit bid

3. What do we open on all these hands ?OR
Bare 6 points great suit
Bare 6 points not great suit OR OR
Best quality 2 bid- solid suit
Good 8 points great suit
Good 9 points not great suit

4. What does partner do after you make your weak 2 bid ?
if he has very good 15/16 points he will probably bid 4 or 4 straight away
raising 2 to 4

5. B) he may just pass if he has very little
Pass to the 2 opener

6. C) He may make a pre-emptive bid and rush to 4 or 4 to further disrupt the opposition
Raise the 2 opener to 4

7. He now needs to know exactly what partner
OR He may not be sure what to do next as he has an invitational hand that might be good for Game if partner has the right 9/10 points so he needs to find out more
He now needs to know exactly what partner
has and makes an enquiry as follows :-

8. Partner tell me more
He BIDS 2NT which is a BLUE CLUB ENQUIRY also called OGUST and it works as follows :-
a) 3  = I have BAD POINTS and BAD SUIT
b) 3  = I have BAD POINTS but GOOD SUIT
c) 3  = I have GOOD POINTS but BAD SUIT
d) 3 = I have GOOD POINTS and GOOD SUIT
e) 3NT = I have solid suit AKQ to six

9. OR OR OR 3 Bare 6 points great suit 3 Bare 6 points not great suit
